Earlier, an official of the Mountaineering Department of Nepal's Tourism Ministry said, out of four Indian climbers who had gone missing, two were located yesterday.

In the past two days, a Dutch and an Australian mountaineer have died of altitude sickness after scaling Mount Everest, days after an Indian climber lost his life after falling sick while descending Nepal's Dhaulagiri peak.
